According to Baseball Reference, Kyle Tucker's career high for WAR is 5.5. For Fangraphs, he's never gotten above 5.0 WAR. I think this works on...
The Cubs GM would hang up on you and start laughing uncontrollably. He'd then immediately text the Cubs President and Owner and tell them how he...
They were good enough to contend - they were basically the same team as the previous one that was so good that people claimed Dusty's the only...
I'm not on the Arenado train, but I do assume the Astros have more analytical data than the fans and that they have more of a reason to believe...
This isn't correct, I don't think: Competitive Balance Tax | Glossary | MLB.com The Astros would be in their 2nd year, so the base would be 30%....

These two things seem to be a bit at opposition - if it's a bad deal for Bregman, it should generally be a good deal for the team and we'd want to...
The math here still doesn't seem to add up: Alex Bregman's Huge Red Sox Contract Includes 'Significant' Deferrals Per the longtime MLB insider,...
There would have to be some pretty crazy deferrals or they are using a ridiculous discount rate on that short a contract to get from $120MM to...
Why exactly is a free agent supposed to be loyal to a team that's offering him substantially less money to stay here? Why couldn't the Astros...
